We're grateful to MEN Media for letting us have use of their offices on a Saturday. It's a great space with dedicated auditorium for 40, large open spaces for larger groups, and several small meeting rooms. We have dedicated use of the building all day, but it's an office and we're guests - so please respect the surroundings.

What is it? Themes?

 

Over the last couple of years, Manchester has seen a thriving technical community sprout up. We've seen BSD and Linux groups grow, GeekUp thrive across the North, Ruby and Microsoft developer communities develop and the local technical economy mature. While in recent times, we have also seen the Manchester Free Software group form and grow. Whilst some of those communities have talks, it's time we all got together and talked about things that interested us in a BarCamp style.

 

You turn up with a talk, you fight for a place on the board, and then you get on with it. We'll supply a venue, projector equipment, food and drink for the whole day, and a room full of like-minded people.

 

We're still working out the exact format, so don't plan too much for your talk just yet - we'll have timings sorted out soon. Promise.
